Good time of the day, gentlemen, the hotel is really very old, the funicular is always functioning but alone, the journey for lunch can be long, there is an alternative stairs, most often faster than the funicular, the rooms are old, before settling, . The staff even put things in order offered to us, fixed the sockets, put things in order in the bathroom and on the balcony, changed the batteries in the TV remote control, when the iron was turned on, the light turned off, they fixed it too, the old furniture does not fall apart, but it doesn’t give pleasure either, beds and mattresses normal allow you to sleep, the cleaning in the room is good, it is enough to interest the cleaner and everything will be fine, according to the number everything is possible.

Food, you won’t stay hungry, you will eat well, there is one problem, not enough tables if you come at the peak (the first half hour, you will look for a place), but there is enough food for everyone, so don’t worry about it, or come a little earlier staff they won’t kick you out, there is no children’s menu, everything is usually like in Egypt, the restaurant tries to feed everyone, well done, the all-inclusive system works for lunch and dinner, so one alcoholic drink during meals, the rest is in the bar above the restaurant, you can go yourself or give the boy some money, they will bring at least a bucket, 4 all-inclusive bars, I don’t know the name above the restaurant, on the beach, between the pools of pol island, where the boy Ziyad works, but the ego is often not there (he collects glasses, then something else) , pours in full, and not in a bar on the beach, there is always a line, it is better to wait, in the bar on the beach there is a separate line for beer, for alcohol and cocktails separate, Latino bar until 23, chillax pool from 10 to sunset
.
The numbering of the rooms goes from the sea to the reception, if 1 is closer to the beach, if 4 is closer to the top.
Funicular 4 stops
- restaurant
- pharaoh
- arabesque
- beach
Separately, on the management of the hotel, the hotel management allows itself the wrong approach to customers, they had to talk a little in raised tones, before this was not the case, the client is always right and nothing else, now they have their own view on every situation
We took the sunbeds in the morning because they were not empty, some take them in the morning, so they don’t come until the evening, find not sunbeds, but a place near the pool that you like, let him look for a fight that will work on the beach, the Arabs do it, he’s all brings, feel free to contact them, they don’t do shit there, the animation is trying, Karim is in charge, some don’t want to do anything themselves, then they blame the animators, let the evening show fail, there’s nothing to do, there is a powerful sunrise hotel nearby, we walked around the neighborhood, near the water park, neverland, the former show 1001 nights, a mango market was also placed (low-demand goods are brought there and with an outgoing expiration date more accurately), there are small shops along the road, as you leave the hotel to the right, two pharmacies, alcohol, oils (Ahmed), shooter butor.
You need an exchange for pounds so it's cheaper at an ATM 30.5
Near the exit of the hotel there is a table with the inscription taxi 32
Naamabey 33, but there the price is more expensive for goods
The old city also

We rested with my wife from November 19 to November 26.2022. I will not paint for a long time. In general, the hotel pulls on 4-ku by Turkish standards. Room 2411. The food is monotonous, everything is peppered. The veal is chic soft sometimes. The room is tired. The second funicular did not work. Two big minuses.

The food is monotonous, everything is peppered. The veal is chic soft sometimes. The room is tired. The second funicular did not work. Two big minuses. Disgusting entry into the sea. One pontoon is generally dead, the second is plastic, on small waves, like after a glass of whiskey, try to stomp to the reef, they could make a stationary pontoon, as it is next to the sunrise. And the second negative is the thieving cleaners, a lot of small things were missing (medicines, jewelry, etc. ). It's good that the money and gold were kept in a safe. This was our first time. Bad residue. The sea is luxurious, the corals are beautiful, but the swimming area is very narrow

Let's start with the check-in: We arrived at the hotel at 9 o'clock. Everyone was told that check-in would begin in 45 minutes. We were immediately offered for an additional $ 10 per day, instead of the standard, family rooms with sea views, with access to the pool, in the lowest building. They lowered the price by $5 and agreed.

We were immediately offered for an additional $ 10 per day, instead of the standard, family rooms with sea views, with access to the pool, in the lowest building. They lowered the price by $5 and agreed. The rooms, although old, are in fairly good condition. Apart from plumbing, of course. Cleaning was every day. Good.
The territory is beautiful, well-groomed, everything is clean everywhere. Funicular one did not work, the second broke down on the fifth day. We walked for two days. It's about the ninth floor on foot.
Regarding the windless bay: Lies! Approach the sea and you are blown by a cold wind. Regarding the sandy entry into the water: Lies! A meter of sand, and then a concrete slab (carals) And, we chose a calm bay and a sandy entrance to the sea.
Meals: Not only is there a very small selection, but on the third day one of us got food poisoning. Temperature over 39, plus vomiting and diarrhea. Further worse. On the fifth day, everyone had diarrhea, and so for another five days before departure.
It would be possible to rate this hotel 2-3 points, but the staff and animators really liked it. Someone who, but only they pull this hotel to a more or less high level. Whatever it was, I didn't want to leave. At the same time, many acquaintances rested in other hotels, so there was generally horror. According to our stories, they said that everything was perfect with us. But since we are in Sharm for the fourth time, I still judge by past hotels, so I give this hotel 6 points.

The hotel was chosen according to a high rating, but I don’t know who writes them, in reality it is very weak. Declared does not answer two hundred percent. As they say, there are a lot of ports, but really... Well, the first one was met at the reception, as if we didn’t pay and came to rest, but they did.

Well, the first one was met at the reception, as if we didn’t pay and came to rest, but they did. The freak who is supposed to carry suitcases on a tarantass has disappeared somewhere and, like, look for him yourself. Wi-Fi password is new every day and is entered only by an abrek from the reception. The rooms are really rather weak, well, even worse than in the nearby Queen Charm. Honestly. . . dirty. Although, unlike Cain, at least there is water and soap dishes with tea, in the bars there are old plastic cups. Go to Rehana with a lower rating there is no such thing.
The food is delicious, there are almost no fruits. Melons and oranges and all. The beach is nice, there are plenty of sun loungers. Not far from the old city. Near thousand and one night. Alcohol is local, but normal. There is beer. The funicular works only one and everything is in a dilapidated state.
In general, for that kind of money, definitely not, for example, go to Rehana.

While fresh memories, I will write a review about the hotel. Safir Sharm Waterfalls Resort 5 * left a good impression and memories will last for a long time. - The location is excellent - close to the airport, close to noisy tourist streets, cafes and the old town. If you need movement outside the hotel - this is a good option.

While fresh memories, I will write a review about the hotel.
Safir Sharm Waterfalls Resort 5 * left a good impression and memories will last for a long time.
- The location is excellent - close to the airport, close to noisy tourist streets, cafes and the old town.
If you need movement outside the hotel - this is a good option.
- The territory is large, as others write, well-groomed and beautiful.
Several cafes and bars, many pools and many steps on the stairs.
If you like to move a little after a heavy meal and work off what you eat, this is a great opportunity.
If not, there is a comfortable fast funicular.
- Meals are modest. You will definitely stay full, but the choice could be more. Every day for dinner they cook something on the grill and try to diversify the dishes. One evening they even gave crab and shrimp. The first and side dish is always there, vegetables too.
With fruit somehow the situation is more deplorable.
- The hotel is on the first line, so most of the rooms have a sea view. I don’t know who was dissatisfied with the reef, because the underwater world here is rich.
There are several beaches. You can lie next to the sea, you can lie on a hill. Enough space for everyone.
In general, the beach and the sea will definitely benefit and are a plus.
- Animation is, but rather neutral. Perhaps in the summer time of the year the entertainment is more active. Now in the evening they put on a show, in the morning there are also darts and exercises. In any case, you can always go outside the hotel in the evening, where there are clubs and other establishments, if you want to party.
- The staff is excellent, everyone tries, quickly and efficiently perform the work. On the evening of my birthday, we returned to the room, where a cake and a letter of congratulations were waiting for me, it was very nice!
The hotel is hardly suitable for families with children, for them, in fact, there is no entertainment.
But for couples or parents with older children - a good option for acceptable money.

I don't like to write big reviews, BUT BOILING! 1. The flight was postponed for 6 hours. As a result, we arrived at the hotel not at 8 am, but at 2 pm. Thanks to Biblio Globus and Russia Airlines! By the way, for 6 hours of rescheduling the departure and 5 hours of flight, a whole glass of water was served on the plane.

I don't like to write big reviews, BUT BOILING!
1. The flight was postponed for 6 hours. As a result, we arrived at the hotel not at 8 am, but at 2 pm.
Thanks to Biblio Globus and Russia Airlines! By the way, for 6 hours of rescheduling the departure and 5 hours of flight, a whole glass of water was served on the plane. A very generous gesture.
2. Arrived at the hotel. Dining room in the same building as the Lobby. And then we saw 2 negative factors that were throughout the rest: a million Arabs and only 6 different main hot dishes to choose from. They were just horrified. Of course there were also salads and stuff, but 6 courses were served every day for lunch and dinner. When we read the reviews about this, we thought it was written by picky people. But no. It really is. Rice, potatoes, chicken, fish (bony), fried vegetables, kebab - this is your meal for the whole holiday. In the dining room they tried only to have breakfast.
We learned a little life hack before departure - we had lunch and dinner at the cafe by the pool downstairs. Fast food for lunch.
For dinner, the food is basically the same as upstairs, but there are not many people there. Cosy. Hi Rami (Chief there)!
3. They settled almost immediately, because the time was approaching 15 o'clock (settlement time).
There was absolutely no desire to give money for a "good number". Yeah, they didn't even hint. We were given a room with a great sea view. But very old. There were problems with the electronic key. I had to go 2 times to the Reception - a long way up the hill.
4. Went for a walk around the hotel - some Arabs. Just tin. Uncultured crowd. All beds are occupied. Both by the pools and by the sea. Not a racist, but the impression is just terrible. Until you see it, you won't understand.
5. Sun loungers, as already said, are constantly busy. You need to go and throw your "towel" around 7-8 in the morning by the sea to borrow. The pool is a little later borrowed. There are very few loungers. There are even free umbrellas, but no sunbeds. Sucks! On vacation, I don’t want to get up on an alarm clock. But no other way.
6. Animation is.
It's boring in the evening. Never a youth hotel.
7. We looked at the fish in the sea through a mask - almost the only plus on this trip. Very beautiful!
During the week, the number of Arabs decreased, while "Russian speakers" increased. The impression has changed a little. We played volleyball and darts with some Arabs - good and positive people.
Were before that in Turkey for 80 thousand for 10 days. This is All Inclusive real. Food, drinks, attitude, contingent, hotel, nature, country - everything is just at the highest level. You give money and never regret it for a minute. But why people choose Egypt, we do not understand. Such a vacation should cost 5.000 rubles, not 10.000 rubles. We will never go there again and will discourage everyone we know. In our understanding, THIS IS NOT A REST!

This is not the first time in Egypt, but we could not imagine such horror in a 5 * hotel for such a price ($ 1000 for two)! The hotel is a maximum of 3.5 stars. 1. We arrived at the hotel at about 4 am, asked for a "present" to check in immediately. were terribly tired, marinated us with words about the "system" and settled by 7.

This is not the first time in Egypt, but we could not imagine such horror in a 5 * hotel for such a price ($ 1000 for two)! The hotel is a maximum of 3.5 stars.
1. We arrived at the hotel at about 4 am, asked for a "present" to check in immediately. were terribly tired, marinated us with words about the "system" and settled by 7. They don't wear bracelets so as not to let them in for breakfast, if you want to eat - pay 8 dollars per person. Seeing a "chic" assortment of food and a bunch of Arabs, we decided to go to bed and come for lunch already. They settled in a room, the third house on the side of the sea, to be honest, it’s difficult to climb up after the beach, and tk. the house is on the side, it is pointless to ride the funicular. The standard room was disgusting without embellishment. The first thing that catches your eye is old and shabby furniture, burnt and dirty curtains, apparently no one thought to wash them, we go further - opposite the bed - a bathroom, very small, it’s scary to wash in the bathroom, no one has ever washed the curtain, the bathroom itself is yellow and dirty , water from the tap flowed yellow! the door to it was so dead that it didn’t even move, hair, dirt, a lot of dust were lying around the room . . and all the “standard” rooms are like that. Gave 20 dollars. the next day - we were moved to a room next to the "suite" pool, closer to the sea, the room was not better in quality, but at least it was larger than the past, a better bed, a large bathroom. All other problems remain.
We went to Egypt in a good mood, and no, I don’t find fault that everything is terrible, but I would have gone for 500 dollars for two - and I didn’t say a word . .
2. Territory. There is nowhere to walk, there are flowers, palm trees, grass, but not in the best condition, especially rubbish spoils the impression. He was everywhere, near the paths, under the funicular, near the rooms, on the beach. In the morning you come to the beach, and there are a bunch of cups and napkins lying next to the sunbeds after an unmeasured number of Arabs. The beach next to the pontoon is very small, it can fit 10 sunbeds on the sides. There are more sunbeds on the second beach, but knee-deep water, an old wooden pontoon, and a lot of surgeon fish swim straight to the shore (be careful).
3. Nutrition. What ruined our holiday the most. There is no choice of food, 10 main courses, basically everything for Arabs, the pasta was undercooked, with soy sausages, I had to eat potatoes every evening, and sometimes skip dinner altogether, because. there is nothing. The grill saved the situation a little, but the meat was not marinated, the chicken was tasteless, and the veal was generally terrible, the smell is just . . Salads + - normal, they were not tasty every other time, the Arabs rake all the food, sit down 15 people at the table, children scream, run , climb on the tables, leave dirt behind, you can’t sit at the table. You can’t wait for fruits, there was 1 time a watermelon tasted no, even unsweetened, an orange, 1 time they gave some kind of figs marinated in juice. Instead of fruits, sliced u200bu200bfruits in a bowl in sweet water, again they were all raked 100 times, the view is not very appetizing, there is nothing to eat for lunch, they put out what they didn’t eat yesterday, especially meat - without spices, completely tasteless and already tough. The pastries were delicious, the only +.
3. The animators are trying, calling for all sorts of movements, but we did not go. Aerobics, volleyball, in the evening entertainment is held in the theater.
4. There are a lot of Arabs, of course, everything is for them in the hotel, and they are in priority. When you go to the funicular, there is a queue of 20 people, it’s better to go up yourself, there are only a few polite ones - one spoke to us, was interested in Ukraine. In general, according to previous reviews, it is true that here you will feel like a black among whites... (I'm not a racist). We have never swum in the pools, they come after breakfast, all the sunbeds are occupied, the pool turns into a paddling pool with a lot of noise and screams.
It’s 3 km to the old town, taxi drivers near the hotel are terribly annoying, they want you to go back and forth with them, they say, come to the store, say, a friend will call and I will come, and you sit and wait 20 minutes for him, they will also dig you in the store buy a figurine with an extra charge of 10 times!! ! Don't get fooled. Better call the store "George Clooney" free shuttle back and forth, and the prices are absolutely no extra charge (this is not an advertisement, mangoes and all the things of Egypt are there at normal prices). They will say "thank you, come again" they will pour fresh mango (for free! ), And no one clings to you "buy, buy, I will make a discount, you are the first buyer today. "

You can’t wait for fruits, there was 1 time a watermelon tasted no, even unsweetened, an orange, 1 time they gave some kind of figs marinated in juice. Instead of fruits, sliced u200bu200bfruits in a bowl in sweet water, again they were all raked 100 times, the view is not very appetizing, there is nothing to eat for lunch, they put out what they didn’t eat yesterday, especially meat - without spices, completely tasteless and already tough. The pastries were delicious, the only +.
3. The animators are trying, calling for all sorts of movements, but we did not go. Aerobics, volleyball, in the evening entertainment is held in the theater.
4. There are a lot of Arabs, of course, everything is for them in the hotel, and they are in priority. When you go to the funicular, there is a queue of 20 people, it’s better to go up yourself, there are only a few polite ones - one spoke to us, was interested in Ukraine. In general, according to previous reviews, it is true that here you will feel like a black among whites... (I'm not a racist). We have never swum in the pools, they come after breakfast, all the sunbeds are occupied, the pool turns into a paddling pool with a lot of noise and screams.
It’s 3 km to the old town, taxi drivers near the hotel are terribly annoying, they want you to go back and forth with them, they say, come to the store, say, a friend will call and I will come, and you sit and wait 20 minutes for him, they will also dig you in the store buy a figurine with an extra charge of 10 times!! ! Don't get fooled. Better call the store "George Clooney" free shuttle back and forth, and the prices are absolutely no extra charge (this is not an advertisement, mangoes and all the things of Egypt are there at normal prices). They will say "thank you, come again" they will pour fresh mango (for free! ), And no one clings to you "buy, buy, I will make a discount, you are the first buyer today. "

This is our first trip to Egypt and coincidentally we have a honeymoon and +1 birthday round date of 30 years. We chose the most classy hotel and it turned out just disgusting! The tour operator (Elegance tour) did not warn us about this, everything is inconsistent with the description on their website, and on the website of the tour operator (join up) what is included in his duties as a consultant, his name is (Sergey) and that in reality, and not how did he not compensate for the completely ruined vacations and holidays that were so important to us, as we informed (Sergey) IN ADVANCE! ". Everything did not work out from the very beginning, since (Sergey) could not draw up the contract correctly and write adequate dates there, etc. , only on the eighth time of altering the contract, he was able to overcome such an overwhelming task! What took, for a minute, ALL DAY! Then the contracts and all the documents within the agreed period were not sent white, but only the next day.
Then at the airport our plane was delayed for 3 hours, and we sat from 20:30 to 2:45 at night and eventually arrived at about 6 in the morning.
We were settled by 10:00, they refused to feed us without bracelets, although at that time dinner was in full swing and the Arabs were gorging themselves with camps, they did not immediately give out bracelets, although our stay was already paid for with breakfast, since our arrival was supposed to be at 3:00 in the morning! Arabs who arrived after us were settled immediately. The fact that we have a honeymoon and DR, we warned in advance and also upon arrival, in the end we were given a regular room, killed in the trash. On the ground floor, to the children's pool, which stank every evening right up to tears, but we will return to it later. The room was killed and the tables were broken, the doors to the furniture went themselves screwed with a screwdriver, it's good that they took it.
From the first check-in, we were left with a shower set for one person instead of two, as required by the contract, there were also no slippers or bathrobes, one bar of soap for two, we had to hide the soap so that we would be given one more at least for a bidet and not just for washbasin.
Cleaning every day, without chocolate, the cleaning is disgusting, they just put the figure from the towel right away, and so on. Plumbing is working but dead, the bed was changed once in 8 days, although they are required every 2 days. Shampoo, etc. , was poured into old tubes until we began to hide these tubes, and poured so that the entire tube was constantly in the liquid itself, in fact, that’s how we guessed ...We didn’t go to figure it out and swear because we were just killed in the trash we didn’t sleep for a day and a half and were just like (plankton), we went to dinner at the reception for bracelets to just eat and go to sleep.
(I'll run ahead) After we partially laid out things, it no longer made sense to change the room, since we walked through and there are only two types of rooms and our standard one!
The next day, we studied the dead hotel, dirty pools with hair and cups and other garbage (packs of cigarettes and bulls) throughout the hotel, About the fact that Arabs constantly smoke in the pool and on bars and on sunbeds that the stench is around for 20-30m this is a different story ...One funicular worked with us for 1 day, then it broke down and stood for 4 days. Discrimination is generally a separate issue, the line at the bar for the Arabs is not written + the bartenders pour only for them, and when you already get out brazenly, then only for you. Liquids are poured only in small cups of 0.25 ml, which in the crazy heat of 42 degrees is nothing at all, they don’t pour it into bottles and don’t give it.
The loungers are mostly occupied with towels where smart-ass rednecks from Russia and, to be honest, from Ukraine and the Arabs occupied towels! Pantone with broken railings and very oskolsky and the other broken into trash (concrete) you can break your legs on it and you won’t reach the end of the caral because there are no oskolsky and railings and concrete pillars stick out! At the entrance to the floating panton, in front of it, there is supposedly a bucket of water to wash shoes from sand, but in fact, from the water on slippers, the legs slide over it even more and it is very difficult to walk on the waves, even with broken railings, which are made from a rope and pipe metal. You can fall and face down on the reinforcement from the fence on the pantone itself! To the easy! It throws waves so hard! THE RESCUER COMES ONLY AT 10:00-10:30 and until 17:00, which in principle is not enough, because you burn out instantly in the heat, and you can swim either in the morning or in the evening, and at 11:00 hell starts!!!
You change towels for cards from the room and exchange them there either at the bottom or at the top of the hotel and only there and back. There are buoys along the reef 30mX10m nowhere else you can’t swim normally from the shore, don’t go in, he screams and whistles into the call (Rescuer) That it’s like don’t go on the guards, although most of them are already dead.
There is a main canteen and there is a restaurant downstairs near the beach, so in order to sign up for lunch there, and these are burgers with potatoes (The only + - normal food), then you need to go to the reception every time and sign up on paper and write the paper itself to the waiter and only on time!! ! Or go eat in the main canteen where the food is frank (SHIT! ) where there is still a restaurant inside the lobby itself in which the windows are open and there for smokers and the ventilation does not work and all this stench from smoking pulls throughout the main large hall and also into the very dining room, which is essentially part of the hall!
In the morning, scrambled eggs in the evening from the grill, at lunch the food is terrible and for the last 3 days we dined, dined like burgers in a restaurant on the beach according to the notes on paper! There was also (the chefs gave out), they gave out themselves, and the Arabs had more portions for the Slavs for less, and when you shout to him mo-mo (more-more), he looks at you with hatched eyes.
They serve Arabs out of turn and, as usual, this is a whole camp with a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 12 people who occupy 3-4 tables at once and take away all the chairs from the rest of the tables that people have nothing to sit on stupidly, and I take it even if there is already a plate and you went away for a plate of food because there are NO TRAYS! Carry drinks but mostly to the Arabs and them in the first place. Horror, we just felt like blacks in America in Texas! The cleaning staff is good and kind and will always help and clean as you ask, etc. , but not all of them, there are only a few such people in the whole hotel.
In a cafe in a restaurant on the beach, there is a tall waitress girl who more than 3 times that we were there simply ignored our orders, the third time we waited 25 minutes until they brought us cola, and then, half a glass with a bunch of ice, and then after as we called again and asked where our order was, and this again (ALL INCLUSIVE!! ! ). And it was like that all the time!
After the Arabs on the tables and in general in the canteen, as well as throughout the hotel, there is such a wild shit that you can literally think that they are used to eating and living with pigs in a barn! From (dishes), the meat is dug out and full plates of sausages are scooped up without pasta, so that even the plates break and leave on the tables mixed with garbage ...There are very few and rare fruits, for all the time 2 times watermelon, which is either sour or not sweet, moreover everything from one trough, we didn’t even see bananas, etc. fruits, rarely oranges, and then with slices of skin.
Some kind of incomprehensible water salad similar to stew and or jelly with mineral water! Their confectionery is 5+ to be honest, very tasty, of course, not all but most. Drinks are an analogue of yupi, which is additionally sugared and because of the sugar, the pouring taps were clogged and it pours out of it on the floor and everywhere, then the slippers stick and someone does not usually clean ...
2 pools, 1 jacuzzi, 4 fountains, billiards, etc. , do not work on the territory, spa, sauna and bath also do not work. The cinema and the kindergarten also do not work, which is why there are constant screams of children and babies throughout the territory, and Arab mothers carry them like bags in all the pools and put them on chairs and tables in the canteen when they sleep ...And in the evening, bleach is poured into the pools, yes so many that it’s impossible to sit on the veranda and walk next to it, it hurts your eyes, and also the first floor overlooking the pool, let me remind you that we are on a honeymoon and we rely on a room (*) above the level and overlooking the sea, etc.
And = one free tour that we were never given! And this is according to the rules of the hotel!
In the funicular, instead of the air conditioner, there is a fan on the roof like Carson's, when we saw it, we almost pissed ourselves with laughter : -)) there is also a bunch of cobwebs and dust, and all this blows on our heads ...fu! On all other issues, etc. , it’s on trifles, but the attitude itself is a bit not like 5 * and even sometimes 3 * with a stretch. Honeymoon ruined! Birthday ruined!

The hotel rooms are old but good quality. Apparently this hotel used to be very cool. The beach is divided into zones (bays) there is an entrance from the pantheon and from the beach you can hang out from the edge.
The highlight of the hotel is the funicular that takes guests up and down. In the lower pool, people bathe in sea water and this is a special thrill. The hotel is close to the old town. You can walk if you wish.

Former Hilton, SAFIR.
We rested at the hotel on 19.04-30.04. 21, brought us to the hotel after breakfast, marinated a little, listened to our wishes, received our bribe and settled us in a room near the beach. In fact, you can live in any part of the hotel, all buildings go to the funicular. 3 minutes and you are at the reception (there is also a dining room. ) But proximity to the beach was important for us.
HOTEL
The hotel is very compact and beautiful. Who cares to walk, then there are no places, only in a circle. Near Mercato street, you can always walk there.
The room is clean, the furniture is normal, the plumbing is a little tired, but not critical. We had a large bed in the room, a sofa for watching TV, a refrigerator (it cooled well), a safe (not bolted, just stood in the closet), a set of tea and coffee, water 1.5 l, a hairdryer and an iron and ironing board (so and didn't work).
A bathrobe and slippers can be provided upon request. We asked for slippers and they gave us 3 times. Soap supplies (shampoo, bar soap, gel, conditioner and body lotion) were replenished on time (Hilton heritage), and the hotel is now 4 *. Cleaning is normal, towels are changed every day, regardless of whether you throw them on the floor or not.
TV-flat screen, all outputs are there, but USB did not work. At first, the channels were only Arabic, after contacting the reception, they set up Russian-speaking and Ukrainian ones.
I want to note the speed of solving problems, slippers do not count, we only remembered about them in the evening, when the cleaner left, namely, he gives them out.
There was a problem with sockets, at least bring your own extension cord. Charging a mobile near the bed is a problem, but maybe this is a concern for us, so that we can take a break from gadgets.
There is NO Wi-Fi in the hotel. But we immediately bought at the airport. Orange, $10, like 18 GB. In fact, less, we didn’t have enough, the Internet ended on the 11th day. Video watched, football matches.
I really liked the arrangement of the buildings, you move from the room to the funicular not in the open sun. The funicular often broke down, but not for long, we were not bothered.
The hotel has a saltwater pool, next to the beach, and next to the reception, simple. We swam there a couple of times, leaving lunch, it is refreshing and there is a shade from palm trees. The bar doesn't really work there. There is also a pool next to the spa, but we did not go there. Earlier in the reviews they asked why a pool with sea water, 2 minutes walk from the sea, we had a small storm, so we swam in the pool.
BEACH
Beach, sun loungers and places not under the sun. I don't know how the hotel will cope with full occupancy. The beach consists of several sectors that are completely different from each other. 2 days of choosing, moving from place to place, trying to choose the best location for us.
There is a part of the beach near the flooded pontoon. There are few fungi, the sunbeds are all occupied, either in the evening or from 4 in the morning. There is a place for kids, a meter or two, but still under the feet of petrified coral. At high tide, adults also took water baths there.
There are two plateaus, one near the volleyball court, there are enough places. And near the bar, there are few fungi, but I came at 6 in the morning, my chosen place was free.
Also tiny two patches in the depressions of the landscape. It's good when the wind is in winter. The beds are very heavy, wooden. The mattresses are normal, made of leatherette, the towels are clean, new.
On the upper part of the beach there is a shower with fresh water, in general there are 3 of them, but it works well only near the bar, next to the pool it is not working. The toilet is next to the beach, behind the dining room, which is on the beach.
PONTONS
There are two of them. This is where the positives end.
Flooded pontoon. Partially broken, at the end of the path, skill is needed to enter. At high tide, if there is no wave, just go on it and swim further. If the tide is out, again, if there is no wave, you just need to swim on it, get up and go to the shore. It is guarded by surgeon fish, there are a lot of them, I do not recommend waving your legs.
Now, if there is a wave, getting in and out is more problematic. The wave knocks you off your feet. Let's just say, for young people it is not difficult.
Plastic pontoon. The pontoon itself is not very long, it was normal to even go into the wave. But the stairs are useless. The slope of the stairs from you requires enough effort to climb, especially just 3 steps. In my opinion, this is the biggest disadvantage of the hotel. But since there are no representatives of the hotel on this site, it will be so for a long time. No one will invest in a pontoon.
In the sea, the current is sometimes very significant. Coral. Tired, as in almost everything in Sharm. Fish, in my opinion, not enough, though the water was cool. Maybe I've already seen enough, and therefore I was not particularly impressed by the fish. Lots of surgeonfish. If you swim to the left of the flooded pontoon, there are many beautiful living corals. But there are few who swim. A turtle lives somewhere near the plastic pontoon, I didn't see it. I met Orlyak early in the morning, but he immediately went to the depths.
NUTRITION
The dining room is located in the main building, next to the reception. In the morning and afternoon it is completely flooded with light, one of the architects was an entertainer and came up with not just panoramic windows, but also a roof. But finding a place without sun is possible.
The food, as for me, was too dietary. All stew, meat, fish. Grill in the evening. There are enough vegetables, but the trouble is with fruits, there were only 2 types of them. The cooks give out everything themselves, there is always a queue for the issuance of salads.
Drinks are served by waiters. In the morning, coffee, tea, hibiscus, milk were delivered on a cart. You place an order during the day. Everything quickly, sometimes, they brought it right away, as soon as you came in, remembering your addictions. In general, the team of waiters and cleaners in the dining room deserves the best praise.
There is a dining room on the beach, before you had to take a coupon at the reception. Now you just come, sit down, place an order. There is only a burger, lula and deep-fried fish, french fries. And drinks. We only went once.
There are only 2 bars, in the lobby and on the beach. Maybe with the arrival of the Russians, the old bars will come to life. But so far it has been. They didn’t drink alcohol, they saw beer being poured from bottles, packaged juices. Pour into small plastic cups.
DEPARTURE
Coral Travel postponed our flight to 6 hours ago, we had breakfast and flew away. In general, the hotel, service, staff were satisfied. I can’t recommend it, because I myself experienced discomfort when entering the sea. Maybe the arrival of the Russians will encourage the owner of the hotel to make it more convenient to enter the pontoons.
We rested at the hotel on 19.04-30.04. 21, brought us to the hotel after breakfast, marinated a little, listened to our wishes, received our bribe and settled us in a room near the beach. In fact, you can live in any part of the hotel, all buildings go to the funicular. 3 minutes and you are at the reception (there is also a dining room. ) But proximity to the beach was important for us.

Beach, sun loungers and places not under the sun. I don't know how the hotel will cope with full occupancy. The beach consists of several sectors that are completely different from each other. 2 days of choosing, moving from place to place, trying to choose the best location for us.
There is a part of the beach near the flooded pontoon. There are few fungi, the sunbeds are all occupied, either in the evening or from 4 in the morning. There is a place for kids, a meter or two, but still under the feet of petrified coral. At high tide, adults also took water baths there.
There are two plateaus, one near the volleyball court, there are enough places. And near the bar, there are few fungi, but I came at 6 in the morning, my chosen place was free.
Also tiny two patches in the depressions of the landscape. It's good when the wind is in winter. The beds are very heavy, wooden. The mattresses are normal, made of leatherette, the towels are clean, new.
On the upper part of the beach there is a shower with fresh water, in general there are 3 of them, but it works well only near the bar, next to the pool it is not working. The toilet is next to the beach, behind the dining room, which is on the beach.
PONTONS
There are two of them. This is where the positives end.
Flooded pontoon. Partially broken, at the end of the path, skill is needed to enter. At high tide, if there is no wave, just go on it and swim further. If the tide is out, again, if there is no wave, you just need to swim on it, get up and go to the shore. It is guarded by surgeon fish, there are a lot of them, I do not recommend waving your legs.
Now, if there is a wave, getting in and out is more problematic. The wave knocks you off your feet. Let's just say, for young people it is not difficult.
Plastic pontoon. The pontoon itself is not very long, it was normal to even go into the wave. But the stairs are useless. The slope of the stairs from you requires enough effort to climb, especially just 3 steps. In my opinion, this is the biggest disadvantage of the hotel. But since there are no representatives of the hotel on this site, it will be so for a long time. No one will invest in a pontoon.
In the sea, the current is sometimes very significant. Coral. Tired, as in almost everything in Sharm. Fish, in my opinion, not enough, though the water was cool. Maybe I've already seen enough, and therefore I was not particularly impressed by the fish. Lots of surgeonfish. If you swim to the left of the flooded pontoon, there are many beautiful living corals. But there are few who swim. A turtle lives somewhere near the plastic pontoon, I didn't see it. I met Orlyak early in the morning, but he immediately went to the depths.
NUTRITION
The dining room is located in the main building, next to the reception. In the morning and afternoon it is completely flooded with light, one of the architects was an entertainer and came up with not just panoramic windows, but also a roof. But finding a place without sun is possible.
The food, as for me, was too dietary. All stew, meat, fish. Grill in the evening. There are enough vegetables, but the trouble is with fruits, there were only 2 types of them. The cooks give out everything themselves, there is always a queue for the issuance of salads.
Drinks are served by waiters. In the morning, coffee, tea, hibiscus, milk were delivered on a cart. You place an order during the day. Everything quickly, sometimes, they brought it right away, as soon as you came in, remembering your addictions. In general, the team of waiters and cleaners in the dining room deserves the best praise.
There is a dining room on the beach, before you had to take a coupon at the reception. Now you just come, sit down, place an order. There is only a burger, lula and deep-fried fish, french fries. And drinks. We only went once.
There are only 2 bars, in the lobby and on the beach. Maybe with the arrival of the Russians, the old bars will come to life. But so far it has been. They didn’t drink alcohol, they saw beer being poured from bottles, packaged juices. Pour into small plastic cups.
DEPARTURE
Coral Travel postponed our flight to 6 hours ago, we had breakfast and flew away. In general, the hotel, service, staff were satisfied. I can’t recommend it, because I myself experienced discomfort when entering the sea. Maybe the arrival of the Russians will encourage the owner of the hotel to make it more convenient to enter the pontoons.
